Sally Kohn writes an article about how Hilary Clinton is playing her gender
card again and why women should be elected to be president. At the first
democratic debate she repeatedly tells voters she would be the first women to
be president and she would be a good and an effective president. Clinton thinks
she is the most experienced and knows how to get things done better and faster.
That’s what she says rhetorically at almost every debate she has, which is kind
of getting old already. She states, “As a woman, you're
really held to a totally different standard, and you're expected to be both
strong and vulnerable at the same time”. In a way people do agree with Hilary,
yes women are not supposed to not be able to have job, they can have a good
profession, but there’s a limit to how much you can let women take control. Where
are the moms who stay home and take care of their children? Where are the moms
who cook dinner and have quality time with their families? It is understandable that a women should have
a part time job but she should have time to spend with her family.
I would have to definitely agree with Clinton on this statement that she made. Of course she is held to a higher standard, she is the first women to run for president! Just like Barack Obama was held to a higher standard when running for president because he was the first African American president. However, there are so many bias comments and remarks made about Clinton being a female and running for president but Clinton is a very strong and confident women and I believe though all the negativity, she can withstand her position and overcome the emotional beatings from other candidates and citizens.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, if Clinton was going to be as good of president as she says she's going to be, she shouldn't have to play the gender card. By playing the gender card, she just makes herself look like a child, basically saying; Since I'm a woman running for president, you should appreciate my boldness and just make me president. In my opinion, Clinton is competing with Trump, in the way of, who is going to ruin the US more?
ReplyDeleteI can understand Clinton's statement. America has never had a female president yet, and this country has a ton of expectations that will hold her at the different standard she speaks of. The "woman card" may get her somewhere in this election, but I don't think it will be far enough. In my opinion, the only way she can get through this is if she proves to America that she is strong and wise enough to lead this country.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why she keeps on trying to make people vote her just because she's a woman. I think having half your campaign being about your gender isn't productive at all.
